Can the floodlights be switched on in these situations

The floodlights had been on for quite a while.

If they want to kill off what is left of the attendances at the Championship games, they  are going the right way about it.

Agreed , very poor situation and  no thoughts about the paying public.

Bit of a belting - weak attack. I thought they would have played Richard Jones the loanee from Worcester but he aint playing.

Nothing really to play for , expecting a heavy beating.

There is a thing called 'Professional pride'....for players like Recardo Gordon it's an opportunity to shine and claim his place for the remaining games of season as it will be his place at jeopardy from Jones.
